Hilarious! Kids 8 & 10 love it!

We were taught this game by my in-laws and had fun with it. But, we needed to see how the grands would take to it. The older ones (11 and 13) did pretty good. The nine-year-old took the role of the Oops bonker and wanted to play. She will do better in a few years. The six-year-old wants to be included but doesn't read or understand enough to be a real player. Still, the eight of us had a good time. That experience encouraged me enough that I will now get the expansion pack to have a larger bank of words/phrases. This game is fun but challenging in two ways. One is obvious--you can't use multi-syllable words in clues. I still get tripped up by that. The other is in thinking broadly in terms of what words can mean. The younger players, in particular, had a hard time thinking beyond the specific image they had for a particular word. For example, our word was CASTLE. The 13-year-old trying to describe it had too limited a vocabulary to convey it to others. For example, he didn't think to describe it as a house or building (which he couldn't have said in any case). A facility to think laterally and use words you know to give clues is important. (My wife is a savant at this. Her team always won.) We don't recommend using the sand timer that comes in the box. Use your phone to make a more predictable timer that includes a noisy alarm. We also didn't stick to a 90-second limit. When we were taught the game, we used a three-minute timer. That was TOO LONG, as we used up too many words. Teaching the game to the kids, we used a two-minute timer. As we get used to it, we may lower that to the recommended 90-second timer. It is a fun game that we will enjoy for some time to come. Recommended.

A quick, easy, and fun game. More of a social game, so you can play with your friends who don’t care for boards games.

This game is so much fun to play - a favorite of our grown kids and their partners!

This game is perfect for people who believe they can articulate perfect Neanderthal. I learned I am not good at one beat words that tell a pic peeps get.

Me play. Me laugh. Big word bad. Small word good. Game say: use small word. No big word. Big word make head go BONK. Soft club hit head. All laugh. Me try be smart. Me say big word. BONK. Head sad. You pick a card. Card have big word. Hard word. Long word. You must say it… but with small word. So you say: “Hot sky ball” for sun. Or “cold rain rock” for hail. But no big word. If you say big word… BONK. Game fast. Game loud. All yell guess. All laugh lot. At first seem easy. But brain go blank. You know word… But you can not say word. That make game fun. And hard. But still easy to play. Good for fam. Good for pals. Good for kids. Good for dumb cave men like me. We play more than one time. Each time more laugh. Head get bonk. But heart glad. Good game. Me say buy.

Funnnnm

A lot of fun to play with friends, we laughed so much. Four of us played together which worked really well for us. Think it would be a great game to play with kids as well.

Not only is the game fun and easy to learn, it offers something no other word games has — the opportunity to hit your family and friends in the heat with an flatsble club.

This game rocks! It's hilarious. Easy to learn. It's just great fun. Will be buying the expansion as well.

If you are into word games and you're usually with a group, I highly recommend this game. It has become one of our favorites
